Learning Path
Before starting this course, you should be familiar with:

For hands-on lab exercises, access to a Linux server or Linux desktop/laptop is required. Access to a public cloud provider, or VirtualBox on your machine is also needed. Lab exercises in this course have been tested in a GCP environment.

If using a cloud provider like GCP or AWS, you should be able to complete the lab exercises using the free tier or credits provided to you. However, you may incur charges if you exceed the credits initially allocated by the cloud provider.

The labs do delve deep into some specifics, allowing you the chance to go beyond what the documentation provides.

I liked that important things were in bold, just like in a textbook. So it was easy to take notes and improve retention of important concepts. I also appreciated that the labs were so thorough and used Linux tools rather than third-party software.

The labs were very useful in ensuring a practical approach was taken, and that real-life configuration of Kubernetes was understandable.

Hands on applicability, the labs. Loved the addition of the domain review labs, was struggling with reviewing for the exam.

It covered a wide range of topics at a depth useful to an application developer. It was informative about the current state of Kubernetes and up front about how quickly the ecosystem is moving. I felt informed about not only Kubernetes but all of the technologies surrounding it as well. The hands-on labs were invaluable for learning the CLI, and there was always more reading available. I really appreciated that this course was geared towards learning and content instead of the exam.

Bite-sized sections allow for flexible time management. Course covers most of the major topics needed to get off the ground as a k8s application developer.
